Proper maintenance of documented information in a cybersecurity program is important because it ensures that actors are ready to act when needed. Up-to-date documentation provides clear guidelines and procedures for handling incidents, implementing security measures, and maintaining compliance with policies. This readiness is critical for effective and timely response to cybersecurity threats. Reference include ISO/IEC 27001, which emphasizes the importance of maintaining accurate and current documentation for effective information security management.

Reporting IDS alerts of malicious transactions to interested parties does not ensure the ongoing security of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS). While it is important for situational awareness and incident response, it does not directly contribute to the security and maintenance of the IDS itself. Ensuring ongoing security of an IDS involves activities such as encrypting IDS management communications and creating unique user and administrator accounts for every IDS system, which help protect the IDS from being compromised. Reference include NIST SP 800-94, which provides guidelines for securing IDS systems.
